... because people at the school were worried about his behavior. So did they tell the school
that the father had just bought their son a 9-millimeter Sig Sauer pistol last Friday?
All of this was so preventable. The first part being what kind of idiot buys and gives an 9 mm
automatic pistol to a 15 year old boy? Let alone a 15 year old who was showing signs of behavior
problems. A simple warning to the school would have given them time to call the police and to be
on the look out for the shooter before anybody was shot.
(And both parents were right wing Trumpers too. )
Both parents should end up in prison for their actions/inactions too.

Sheriff: Oxford High School shooting suspect used gun dad bought on Black Friday
The 15-year-old Oxford High School sophomore accused of fatally shooting three classmates and injuring at least eight other people used a handgun his dad purchased four days earlier on Black Friday, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said late Tuesday evening.
The weapon used was a 9mm Sig Sauer SP 2022 pistol, Bouchard said. The suspect, Ethan Crumbley, had three, 15-round magazines. That includes 11 rounds in the handgun and magazine and another seven in his pocket when authorities apprehended the suspect.
The sheriff said the suspect fired at least 30 rounds, a preliminary estimate based on shell casings found at the school. That likely indicates the shooter reloaded the handgun at least once during the shooting.

was showing signs of behavior issues.
* The limbic system is the part of the brain involved in our behavioural and emotional responses, especially when
it comes to behaviours we need for survival: feeding, reproduction and caring for our young, and fight or flight
responses.

(2,248 posts)This family will flip quickly to find out what really happened when they are all facing consecutive sentences as an act of domestic terrorism.
When the shooter pretended to be a sheriff to lure kids into the hall, there is little doubt that this was not an "I'm killing the kids who bullied me" and moved into I am terrorizing a school. And domestic terrorism add-on requires all sentences be served consecutively not concurrently.
When all 3 are faced with never leaving a prison, one of them will plea to lesser charges to have a chance to get out in 25 years. That is how you get to the bottom of it.

a trigger lock on it.
